Abstract
We have designed and built a diffractometer which makes Mossbauer diff raction experiments on powder and polycrystalline samples feasible on a time scale of a few days with a moderately strong radioactive source (20-50 mCi). The diffractometer uses a cylindrical focusing geometry which can work in a symmetrical or asymmetrical mode. The latter makes possible the measurements on oriented powders, textured polycrystalli ne or single-crystal samples. The angular resolution and the mechanica l stability of the diffractometer was tested.
